Yugoslavia's Western detainees moved to capital

A Yugoslav lawyer representing two British policemen and two Canadians accused of spying says they've been moved to a military camp in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro.

The lawyer said the Yugoslav authorities have completed the investigation phase of the case, and under military law now have forty-eight hours to charge or release them.

He said the men were in good spirits.

They were arrested on Tuesday in northern Montenegro while driving back to Kosovo, where they were working in the international aid effort.

Electric cables, maps and photographs of explosions were found in their car, and they were accused of espionage, a claim strenuously denied by the United Nations and the European security organization, the OSCE. Both organisations have demanded their release.
